They’ve gotten a lot of heat for that over the years. I can’t believe it’s even legal honestly.

It warms my heart to see all the Adobe hate and people switching to other things more and more. And I say that as a professional designer who has to pay my adobe tax every year to stay employed. Every person I see switch increases the chance I’ll get to kick them to the curb someday myself.

It’s their level of aggression towards fan projects that sets them apart I think.
- Comment on Roblox players are going to start getting paid to watch ads 1 week ago:
And by paid we mean given in-game cosmetics with no monetary value.
This is not a new thing at all. Mobile games have been using rewarded ads for years so I’m not sure why they’re acting like it’s some groundbreaking thing.

- Comment on Cyan (Myst, Riven) to lay off 12 people, "roughly half the team" 2 weeks ago:
Very sad to hear. Cyan is a massive influence on me and I’m always rooting for them. They definitely haven’t had a smooth or easy road over the years though.

I play so many video games I thought that sign was a choice dialog overlaid on the photo for a second. It’s so weirdly flat in the perspective. 😅

OK good to hear!
- Comment on PC gamers spend 92% of their time on older games, oh and there are apparently 908 million of us now 3 weeks ago:
I actually really have enjoyed the game itself but you aren’t fucking kidding about the rest of it. It’s truly insane how much friction there is between deciding to play and getting into a lobby.
- Comment on S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2: Heart of Chornobyl - Patch 1.3 has arrived! 3 weeks ago:
I known I’ll like the game (the franchise is one of my all time favorites), it just had a lot of technical problems on launch so that’s what I’ve been waiting to see improved. Sounds like it might still be kinda rough based on the first part of your comment.

How’s the game state these days? I’ve been waiting to play until it got fixed up.
- Comment on Roblox CEO tells parents that “if you're not comfortable, don't let your kids be on Roblox”. 4 weeks ago:
That statement is fine in a vacuum, but I think the mega platform almost exclusively marketed towards children should also maybe not do child labor with extra steps. This guy isn’t being reasonable, he’s shifting blame.

For real. I had a project to make two full since player campaigns and it was waaaaaay too ambitious. I’ve always been hopelessly ambitious with game dev stuff and I still am honestly 😅
So fun to hear everyone chiming about doing this back then.
- Comment on The creator of upcoming life sim Inzoi says he was "recklessly brave to even think about creating a game of this scale" 4 weeks ago:
That’s so cool sounding too! I made so many half baked ideas honestly. Tower defenses, single player campaigns (way too ambitious ones), and so many more. It really taught me a lot about proper game dev honestly.
- Comment on The creator of upcoming life sim Inzoi says he was "recklessly brave to even think about creating a game of this scale" 4 weeks ago:
That’s cool! I made tons of stuff but most of it never got finished or released cause I just kept starting the next thing. Probably the wildest thing I ever made was a prototype for a sidescrolling platformer in wc3. It had keyboard movement and ability usage, jumping, a heart counter in the top left, enemies, powerups… It was kind of janky but it worked surprisingly well considering what I built it in.

Hey another kid who grew up wc3 modding! I did a ton of that too.

Ah OK. I saw cirrostratus and cirrocumulus and thought it was the same pattern as the altos

This one grinds my gears too because it doesn’t even make sense.
“No one said nothing” is a double negative. Shouldn’t it be
Everyone:
- Comment on Don't hurt the Unaltostratus 🦄 :((( 5 weeks ago:
So does the “alto” and “cirrus” refer to the altitude?
- Comment on I've been replaying Into The Breach lately and stumbled on what I think is an insane power squad. 5 weeks ago:
I really liked this game, but I used all my unlock points on the wrong squads and couldn’t progress any further to get new ones. I wish they hadn’t bound the unlock currency to getting achievements with each squad. It made it so if I bought one I ended up hating there was no shot of getting any money back. Otherwise it’s a great game though.
- Comment on If you enshitify it they will go 5 weeks ago:
Organic maps is pretty good, though it doesn’t have up to date enough info if you want to use it to find restaurants and businesses. I find it’s actually more accurate for things like paths, benches, other outdoor features basically.

Wow, 40 trees! You must have a big property.
I live in the Pacific northwest, so no tropical fruit for me 😭 we’ve got good berries and stone fruit here, though.
